Great tips, thanks! AFF course starting in April, waiting...

What about the "easier" gear then the rigs. As a new skydiver, what is the musthave items? I'm thinking of getting a Tracking suit, is it worth 400€ as a newb? I've seen many on youtube use helmets like http://www.buckmans.com/cms/store/images/cart/smithmazematteblk.jpg and goggles like this http://stmonline.com.au/images/Accesories/Goggles/smith_io_white_redsen.jpg I think it looks really comfortable, but i have no clue really how it feels in 120mph yet. I guess the cheapest Altimeter would work fine for a beginner aswell¿ AFF course starting in April, waiting...

Thanks, great to hear. I will start of with a tracking suit pretty early i guess, and gather more gear during the summer. If i get hooked like everyone seems to be ill probably get my own parachute pretty early, maybe a new rig if that would fit my shortness much better. Yeah your right, i will learn by doing and hanging out by the dz. Just cant wait arghh..! :) AFF course starting in April, waiting...

Hey there, i have signed up for my first Aff course for april. My question is, im 24yo, 163cm/~60kg. Is my smallness an disadvantage or an advantage for skydiving? my goal is to go for a wingsuit, will i loose or gain lift? My question appeared after i read what Jokke Sommer said "(Keep in mind that I weigh 58 kg, which does help for a quick start)". So he's getting good exits since he's pretty lightweight and doesnt require as much speed? In my head a taller and slim person would gain more lift since he's suit is bigger and catches more air..
